The movie is set in Osaka, my hometown. Everything is beautiful and vivid: the kimonos, the blind date, the cherry blossom viewing. There is no storyline. But that is why the beauty of the images, the Japanese "furyu" and the Osaka dialect add to the charm of this film. The influence of the original author, Junichiro Tanizaki, who was fascinated by Osaka culture, is tremendous.
